Encountering newcomers, or those alone and without partners, Hu Ben is even more unafraid.

Moreover, the aura Lin Mo displayed was only at the Star System Level Early Stage cultivation, naturally, Hu Ben didn’t take him seriously.

"Is Hu Ben really so arrogant? This is within the city, killing and looting defying the City Lord’s orders!"

"What do you know? Killing and looting, the City Lord will definitely intervene; no one dares to challenge his authority. However, if it’s just a fight, the City Lord will turn a blind eye; after all, in such a big city, conflicts are normal."

"Hu Ben only bullies the weak. If he encounters someone at Intermediate Star System Level, would he still be so arrogant?" Someone whispered.

"What do you know? Hu Ben’s arrogance is because of his brother. Even some High-level Star System strong individuals don’t want to provoke Hu Ben easily, precisely because of his big brother."

Rumbling!

Rolling Primordial Power crushed out like a grinding plate, Hu Ben’s eyes icy cold with intense Evil Qi, his fists infused with True Yuan raised a sharp gust of wind, fiercely smashing towards Lin Mo’s face. This punch, even if it doesn’t kill, would cause severe injury.

Tiger Clan, born with great strength, comparable to Beasts.

Thud!

A dull sound reverberated, causing everyone’s blood to churn, a circle of powerful energy spread, lifting all the dust off the ground.

Afterward, many widened their eyes, expecting an extremely embarrassed figure, only to see Lin Mo standing straight as a javelin.

Lin Mo extended a finger, the fingertip condensed with True Yuan, colliding fiercely with the seemingly invincible fist, forming two streams of Primordial Power that resisted each other. Hu Ben’s eyes bulged round, eyebrows tightened, face darkened with slight surprise—though he didn’t use Martial Arts, the Tiger Clan’s innate strength, combined with his cultivation in Tiger Clan Technique, made the Primordial Power violent. Even an ordinary punch had great

power.

But unexpectedly, this seemingly ordinary human easily blocked it!

"Little scum, you’ve angered me, the consequences are severe. I’ll break your limbs so you understand offending Hu Ben won’t lead to anything good," Hu Ben’s tone turned sinister, eyes flickered with sharp cold light.

Bang!

After speaking, Hu Ben suddenly retracted his fist, pulling out a giant axe from his back—the axe large and sharp, giving off a pressing sensation. The axe wind howled, drawing a sharp edge, slashing towards Lin Mo.

Lin Mo’s expression tensed, True Yuan surged onto his fist which was instantly covered in a layer of icy True Yuan, then blasted with a sharp chill.

Many watching this scene had their pupils slightly contract. Hu Ben wasn’t very strong, but rarely had rivals in the same level, and his brother doted on him dearly, specially refining two giant axes for Hu Ben, each weighing 5,600 pounds, considered High-level Star System Magic Treasure, granting him the capability to fight opponents a level higher.

"Damn it!" Hu Ben’s face twisted in hostility, seeing Lin Mo dare to resist his axe without even drawing a sword, "Fine, today I’ll take your arm first!"

Thump!

As the fist and giant axe collided, it raised a storm of powerful energy, followed by a wretched figure being blown directly backward, heavily falling to the ground.

Clang!

As everyone’s focus gathered on the figure smashed into the ground, a giant axe fell beside him, embedding into the bluestone floor. Upon closer inspection, the axe had several jagged cracks.

After a moment of silence, a series of gasps spread among the crowd.

"This guy, turning out to be pretending to be weak to defeat the strong!" Fan Dong’s mouth twitched fiercely.

"Seems East City is truly a place full of hidden talents," Zhong Shiming said faintly, a bit surprised, but quickly composed himself.

Yun Xi pursed her thin lips, her clear eyes gazing at Lin Mo standing in place, showing a subtle unique look.

"Brother Hu!"

"Brother Hu, what happened!"

Two followers who came with Hu Ben quickly stepped forward, supporting Hu Ben.

The others were evidently stunned by this ’unexpected’ result, initially thinking Lin Mo would be beaten to tears, but Hu Ben actually lost. Hu Ben glanced at the giant axe embedded in the bluestone slab, its body cracking with two lines, causing him deep distress—these axes were crafted by his brother, enabling him to confront Intermediate Star System Level pow-

erhouses.

Now one axe was damaged, making his strength naturally decrease.

Even if he wanted to repair the damaged axe, it would take considerable materials and time.

Hu Ben looked up, his eyes filled with Evil Qi towards Lin Mo, his golden vertical pupils shrank slightly, adding a touch of dread.

"Little scum, you dared to damage my axe, now I’ll give you a chance: hand over the Secret Manual, and I’ll let you leave safely. Otherwise, I’ll call my brother right away, then it won’t be your choice to leave." Hu Ben said threateningly.

Lin Mo sneered: "Oh, so you have a brother? You can’t beat me, so you call your brother? If he can’t win, will you call your dad, or even your grandpa?"

Hearing Lin Mo’s words, those around couldn’t help but laugh.

Hu Ben’s eyes bulged further, fury rising, directly drawing another giant axe to grip in hand, his body erupting with violent True Yuan.

"It’s just a minor issue, do you want to cause fatalities in East City? This is a place managed by the City Lord—are there no rules here?" Suddenly, a petite figure emerged from the crowd, voice resonating like an orchid in an empty valley.

This graceful silhouette appeared, instantly attracting everyone’s attention, those gazes filled with a mix of amazement and vulgar thoughts.

"Lady Yun." Hu Ben’s expression slightly changed seeing this woman appear, clenching his fists.

"Hu Ben, causing trouble needs to be done in the right way, you should leave first," the woman glanced at Hu Ben, gently speaking. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Hu Ben hearing this, gritted his teeth, fiercely glared at Lin Mo, voice sinister: "Little scum, you got lucky, I’ll settle this score eventually!"

Saying this, Hu Ben pulled up the giant axe embedded in the stone, left with his two followers!

"Who is this woman, able to drive Hu Ben away with just a few words?"

"You don’t recognize her? She’s the City Lord’s daughter."

A murmur of whispers arose among the crowd!

The City Lord’s daughter! Hearing this news, many immediately subdued their gazes of greed and lust.
